I wonder if China and others will simply "purchase" the plans for the finished missile (as with the super-douper new $300 billion F-35 Joint-Strike Fighter that was intended to the the all-singing, all-dancing air superiority aircraft for the next 40 years) rendering the Navy's cutting edge advantage null & void?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
